The Saint Domain for "Saving One's Life" in the God Realm (Seeking Follow-up Reads)

Philip flipped his hand, and a long sword appeared in his grasp.

A resonant sword hum echoed across the heavens and the earth.

"Whoosh!"

Unlike the probing sword qi from before, the blade of light Philip unleashed this time was only a few meters long, yet the killing intent contained within it far surpassed his previous efforts.

In an instant, the pitch-black sword light struck before Graham.

"Rumble~~~" A terrifying explosion resounded through the sky, followed by the elements of the world erupting into a violent, surging tide.

A cyan figure burst forth from the tide, revealing a disheveled Graham.

"Philip!!!" A roar thundered across the sky.

"Philip, if not for the current tense situation preventing me from acting recklessly, do you really think I couldn't defeat you?" Graham said coldly, his face full of fury.

Philip looked at Graham with a cold gaze, his tone icy. "If you want to fight, then fight. Why all the empty talk?"

"Fine, fine, fine..." Graham laughed out of extreme anger!

"Hum~~"

Cyan wind-attribute battle qi swirled around his body, and Graham's snow-white beard stirred without a breeze.

"Today, I shall see exactly what you, the Dark Pope, are made of!"

Philip watched this scene with an expressionless face, secretly delighted to see that Graham seemed prepared to get serious.

Inside Xili City, within an unremarkable courtyard, several dark gazes watched the battlefield in the sky.

The leader of the Church of Darkness ascetics, a short, bald old man, said in a raspy voice:

"If we can leave Graham here today, the number of Saint Domain experts we can recruit next... will at least multiply several times over."

The Chief Judge of the Church of Darkness, a tall, middle-aged man with brown hair and black robes, wiped the long sword in his hand. "The signal has been sent. The Four-Winged Angels lying in ambush outside have already blocked the perimeter. We can prepare to surround and kill him!"

...In the sky, Graham's aura reached its peak.

Whoosh!!

A terrifying, ethereal cyan blade, carrying an incredibly sharp edge, pierced through space and rushed toward Philip at extreme speed!

"Well done!"

Philip's eyes lit up, and he met the attack without fear. I will intentionally reveal a flaw in a moment and let this old man wound me. Once he pursues me relentlessly, that will be his end.

As Philip pondered, his gaze swept across Xili City, and the power in his hand diminished significantly.

"Boom!!"

The two attacks collided, but Philip, who was feigning weakness, easily blocked Graham's attack with his sword.

"Something's wrong..." Philip noticed that Graham's attack felt a bit too weak.

When Philip looked up again, he saw that Graham's figure had already reached the edge of the horizon.

"Philip, I suddenly remembered I have matters at home. We shall spar again when you visit the imperial capital another day!" Graham shouted loudly as he fled.

"!!!"

Noticing this, how could Philip not realize that Graham had sensed Xili City was a trap? The way he had built up his aura earlier was merely to paralyze Philip, ensuring he couldn't intercept him immediately.

"Pursue!!"

Philip roared, taking the lead himself.

Inside Xili City, over a dozen black shadows flickered one after another, chasing after Graham.

Graham, already far away, noticed the movement behind him. His expression was grave, and he kept his wind-attribute magic, Wind of Perception, active at all times.

He dodged the Four-Winged Angels blocking his path while fleeing toward the capital of the Tianluo Empire.

"The Church of Darkness is truly insane to dare lay a hand on me. Are they not afraid of a life-or-death struggle with the Empire?" Graham's heart sank to the very bottom.

Graham had not expected the Church of Darkness to be so reckless. If he weren't a wind-attribute Saint Domain expert with perception far superior to ordinary ones, allowing him to notice the anomaly in Xili City, he might have already fallen and his soul would have returned to the underworld.

...In the end, relying on the speed of a wind-attribute Saint Domain expert, the Church of Darkness failed to keep him.

Meanwhile, far away in the Mobius Province, another Saint Domain expert sent by the Zhongyuan Empire to investigate the Church of Light was not as lucky as Graham and was killed on the spot by the Church of Light.

Through the deliberate dissemination by both churches, the matter quickly spread across the Azeron Continent, and every Saint Domain faction received the news.

For a time, countless factions across the world were stirred, and undercurrents surged among the Saint Domain experts.

"The two churches have killed an imperial Saint Domain expert. Now that the matter has blown up, if we continue to watch from the sidelines, neither the two churches nor the three empires will mind wiping us out before the final battle!" a Saint Domain expert with a family background said with a grave face.

"I can no longer stay in this material plane. I intend to go to the Supreme God Realm," an ascetic Saint Domain expert said.

"The God Realm? That sounds like a good place. I heard from the Plane Guardian that everyone in the God Realm is a talent, they speak so nicely, and the cultivation environment is excellent. Countless Saint Domain experts head there every day!" a Saint Domain expert said with longing.

As soon as these words were spoken, many Saint Domain experts were moved.

In the crowd, a Saint Domain expert dressed in ordinary white robes looked at that Saint Domain expert with a strange expression.

The white-robed Saint Domain expert, who was hiding his identity as a member of the Church of Light, knew much more about the Supreme God Realm than these rogue Saint Domain experts.

Where did this fool come from? the white-robed old man thought to himself. The Plane Guardian really has a twisted sense of humor. Over these years... just from what I know, he has swindled no fewer than ten Saint Domain experts into heading to the Supreme God Realm.

Although he thought this way in his heart, the white-robed old man said on the surface:

"The Divine Realm, that is indeed a good place."

"Good, then let us go explore the Divine Realm together and carve out a bright future!" a Saint Domain shouted aloud.

"Who is going with you? I have no desire to become a soul gold bead..." The white-robed old man smiled brightly on the surface, while cursing wildly in his heart.

Starfire Kingdom, Dragon Knight Warrior Academy.

Inside an exquisite pavilion, Yao Lao looked at the news transmitted from the imperial capital, his expression looking incredibly ugly.

"What is wrong?" Xiao Yan asked with a curious expression.

"Sword Saint of Heavy Mountain Borsen is dead. He died at the hands of the Church of Light one day ago." Yao Lao's expression was grave. "Not only that, it is said that the Church of Darkness has also been making moves recently, surrounding and attacking the Sword Saint of Breeze Graham, though he managed to escape."

Xiao Yan frowned. The Sword Saint of Heavy Mountain Borsen was a veteran Saint Domain powerhouse of the Zhongyuan Empire who had risen to fame four hundred years ago.

Having comprehended a trace of the Pulse of the Earth profound mystery, his strength was extraordinary, no weaker than the Sword Saint of Bedrock Hudson mentioned in the original work, and he held a very high status in the Zhongyuan Empire.

"The Church of Light and the Church of Darkness are becoming increasingly insane. Starfire City is no longer safe. How about... we run?" Yao Lao said with a worried look.

"It is fine, Teacher. Currently, the main focus of the Church of Light and the Church of Darkness is still on the two great empires. It is impossible for them to divert manpower to cross the Zhongyuan Empire and come to Starfire City to strike at us."

"Besides... it is not as if I am without the power to resist!"
